Soccer question: Why did Germany beat England 4:1?

The second goal of England didn’t count. This was extremely unfair. Every fan in England is upset. And rightfully so. But would it have made a difference? I’m not sure. Here’s my explanation why England lost:

Germany has built a team and there was a lot of team spirit. England has got a collection of stars.

What’s your opinion?

“A few days ago, Germany’s assistant coach Hans-Dieter Flick said the Australia game had proven that the side can play excellent combination football. The Serbia game, he added, had proven that the side has excellent morale and team-spirit. The Ghana game, he concluded, had proven that the side has excellent nerves and confidence. Against England, Germany displayed each of these qualities while their opponent lacked them all. Thus the eventual outcome and even the shocking scoreline are perfectly okay.”
